Azza Zaki, 60, Haya Adam, 21, and Abdallah Alanzi, 24, have been charged in relation to an organised protest along Petty France on 17 December last year.
They are each charged with one count of using threatening words and behaviour when, having regards to all the circumstances racial hatred was likely to be stirred up, contrary to section 18 (1) Public Order Act 1986.
A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson said: “Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring this case to court and that it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings.
“We have worked closely with the Metropolitan Police Service as they carried out their investigation.
“We remind all concerned that proceedings against these defendant are active and that they have the right to a fair trial.
